Recently I was asked this question by a respected faculty of an Engineering College in Mumbai. "Can you please speak to our final year students on how they should go about choosing their final year projects?"
I was not too sure if I knew myself what was a way, leave alone the best way, to choose a project. As I gathered my thoughts, the first thing I figured out is that it was not a synchronous process which could be put as a sequence of slides.
Here are my (not so comprehensive) thoughts in a picture :-)
Am sure there is a bias towards the work that I do, however this picture (created as a MindMap using freeplay on Ubuntu and exported as jpg) should enable a final year engineering student ask the right questions to converge onto a project (s)he would love to do.
Good Luck.
